To deposit into the stETH YTs, follow these two steps:

1. Use [Lido](https://stake.lido.fi/) to stake your ETH
2. Deposit Lido LP tokens in Lido's stETH YTs

### 2. Deposit Lido LP tokens in Idle's YTs

After having staked ETH on Lido, the user can go back to Idle and enjoy the different risk-return profiles of the Yield Tranches.&#x20;

* Choose the Yield Tranches side of preference selecting either *Senior* or *Junior Tranches* under the *Earn* section in the top-bar

{% hint style="info" %}
Using **Senior Tranches**, in case of hacks or losses, users' funds will be covered by the funds deposited in the Junior Tranche.

Using **Junior Tranches**, in case of hacks or losses, users' funds will be employed first to cover Senior depositors' funds and then shared among Junior users.
{% endhint %}

1. Type in the amount to deploy on the Tranche in the right panel
2. Click on *Approve* to approve the token spend limit (1st Tx)
3. Once the spending approval is confirmed, the user will be able to deposit stETH Lido LP tokens
4. Click on *Deposit* to deposit the funds (2nd Tx)
5. The user will receive back `wstETH-LP` tokens for the asset deposited depending on the side of the PYTs chosen (AA\_wstETH-LP for Senior, BB\_wstETH-LP for Junior)
